Teacher fired after asking students for back rubs

Donna Coulter, a third grade teacher in the Kissimmee, FL, Charter Academy, had a system of giving her students various classroom jobs.
Pupils cleaned the room, organized books or took out the trash.
But parents weren’t happy about one of the usual jobs on the list: Give the teacher a back massage.
Now Coulter is out of a job.
Parents complained when their children told them that giving Coulter a back rub was one of the duties on the classroom job list.
School administrators told WFTV-TV that Coulter no longer works for the district and that a new teacher has already been hired. Because the situation is considered a personnel matter, they won’t confirm the firing was due to the back massages.
